- Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2024Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseI'm not sure why there are so many negative reviews regarding the size and display size.
As you can see in the photo, the display is larger than a typical calculator. However, the numbers are narrower. As a negative review mentioned, there are no comma's in the display, but there is a decimal point.
I purchased the Amazon Basics calculator on the left to use at work in a distribution center to verify counts. While it worked perfectly in most instances; Sometimes I needed something smaller when I was operating certain types of equipment. That is why I ordered this Casio. It was small, inexpensive and I wouldn't cry if anything happened to it at the DC.
It is small. It is light.
If you have large fingers, you may have problems with the buttons.
Because of it's light weight, you may forget you have it in a pocket. Or forget it and lose it.
So far it's worked perfectly for how I use it. While I need + 1 reading glasses often at work for my equipment mounted computer and RF Gun, I do not need them to read the screen on this calculator with the lighting in the warehouse.
If I were to lose this calculator, I would probably spend $2 more for the slightly larger Casio to try it out, because is seems to have a little more substance to it.
Overall, I'm happy with this calculator. It fits pretty much anywhere and is doing exactly what I bought it for perfectly.
You will have to be careful with it though. Because it's so thin and light, I doubt that it is very durable.
There are reviews about this item not being returnable. In my case, the calculator works fine and a return wasn't necessary.
Due to the cost of the calculator and shipping, I understand why it wouldn't be returnable due to "buyers remorse". However, if it arrived, wasn't working and can't be returned, that is another issue.
5.0 out of 5 starsI'm not sure why there are so many negative reviews regarding the size and display size.Small Lightweight Calculator. Works well for how I use it.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2025Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseLarge (for its size) display is easy to read and has nice high contrast. These old Casio HS 8VA calculators have been around a long time but are still the best in their size range and really inexpensive to boot.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2024Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseFeels smaller than I thought it would be, but works well enough. My preschooler uses this as his go to “cell phone” and that is now its main function in the house.

Use it under the sun or even in your office or room light. The size is small so you can carry it around in your pocket. The display is readable. It is easy to use just like any calculator.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2025Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseI'm an accounting student and I work with big numbers. I needed a four function calculator to take proctored tests. Although this one is small and the numbers are easy to see, I can't calculated anything that has a value of over 8 digits.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2025Size: 1 Count (Pack of 2)Verified PurchaseI bought these for our Older Boy and Girls Operation Christmas Child Boxes. Since they are solar, they should last a long time and be helpful for their schoolwork. I was excited to find these for our 10-14 age boys and girls.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2024Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseThis calculator is surprisingly (almost laughingly) small and not what I expected - but that’s on me for not realizing the actual size! Still, it’s a great tool to have and I plan to keep it in a kitchen drawer for quick household access. I just bought a larger version for crunching numbers at my desk for work.
